* MagnificentBastard: [[EgomaniacHunter Denton Van Zan]] is a self-proclaimed DragonSlayer, mobilizing his military group the Kentucky Irregulars in hunting and killing the beasts in an attempt to retake the Earth. Using creative technology and strategies to fight the powerful dragons, Van Zan even adapts to losing conditions with ease, appropriating Quinn Abercromby as a new tool when one of his men dies in combat. Van Zan, having deduced that if the sole male dragon, "the Bull", is killed it will lead to the dragons dying out, ends up devising a scheme to kill it after analyzing the Bull's flight patterns. Though Van Zan is killed, he goes out DefiantToTheEnd trying to kill the Bull with an axe, and his tactical advice proves to save the day when Quinn continues Van Zan's plan, securing humanity's future free from dragons.

* OneSceneWonder: Matt (who isn't even credited) and Devon are decently memorable for their scenes of trying to elude the dragon during the foraging expedition before getting torched.
Added DiffLines:
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Paratrooper Gideon is the highlight of the film's best action scene and then gets Quinn's surrogate son Jared interested in joining his team. However, Gideon's interactions with Jared take place off-screen, and he doesn't participate in the climax even after surviving the attack on the caravan.

* NightmareFuel: The Bull. This dragon is considerably larger than the females and it shows. On its own, the Bull wiped out the Kentucky Irregulars in just one pass over them and then he just flew off immediately to the castle. [[ItCanThink The way he crawled up carefully to the castle suggests not only that he knew about the place]], but that he'd ''done it before.'' ''It was like he just wanted an excuse to attack it.''
